Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for fabrication of a composite component and more specifically, a metal-ceramic composite component, i.e. a component combining two distinct materials, respectively made from metal and ceramic.
- EP Patent No EP2380864 discloses the fabrication of a ceramic element inlaid with galvanic decorations. This method provides numerous advantages but requires many implementation steps to be carried out.
- the publication entitled ‘Powder compaction of bimaterials: stainless steel 316L and nanocrystalline yttria stabilised zirconia’ describes the forming of a steel 316L and nanocrystalline yttria stabilised zirconia composite by powder compaction or uniaxial pressing. According to this document, a polyvinyl alcohol, in a proportion of 4% by weight, is added to the mixture of each powder as binder. In this forming method of simultaneously pressing two materials, identical densities are obtained for both powders in the green part.
- CTE coefficient of thermal expansion
- the invention relates to a method for fabrication of a composite component including the following steps:
- the composite component can be made mostly of metal or alternatively be made mostly of ceramic. Further, it is noted that the steps are simpler to implement, and the blank formed of the two types of material is sintered in a single step and not consecutively for each material, which avoids repeated handling of intermediate components as in the case of the prior art. Further, against all expectations, and despite the significant difference in coefficient of thermal expansion between steel 316L and zirconia, via the bi-injection moulding method described above, it was possible to obtain a complex 3D bi-injected component with satisfactory cohesion between its steel and zirconia parts.
- the invention relates to a composite component obtained by the above mentioned method, characterized in that the composite component combines, in one piece, two distinct materials, respectively made from steel 316L and zirconia.
- the composite component contains two materials which are inseparable, which can be mostly metal or alternatively mostly ceramic. As the two materials are sintered at the same time, they form a one-piece component despite each being of a different nature.
- FIGURE is a representation of external timepiece parts which can be produced according to the invention.
- the invention relates to a metal-ceramic composite component.
- This composite component was devised for applications in the field of horology, such as for example, the external parts of a timepiece.
- the composite component according to the invention is not limited to the external parts of a timepiece and more generally to horology.
- this composite component could be applied in the field of tableware, cutlery or jewellery.
- the composite component can form, in particular, all or part of a case 1 , such as the case middle 2 and horns 3 , a dial 4 , a flange, a bezel 5 , a push-piece 6 , a crown 7 , a case back cover 8 , a hand 9 , a bracelet or strap 10 such as a link 11 , a decoration 12 , an applique 13 , a crystal 14 or a clasp.
- a case 1 such as the case middle 2 and horns 3 , a dial 4 , a flange, a bezel 5 , a push-piece 6 , a crown 7 , a case back cover 8 , a hand 9 , a bracelet or strap 10 such as a link 11 , a decoration 12 , an applique 13 , a crystal 14 or a clasp.
- the invention also relates to a method for fabrication of a composite component.
- the method includes a first step a) intended to form a first material containing powder, for example steel 316L powder, and at least a first additive, and a second material containing powder, for example, zirconia powder, and at least a second additive.
- the first and second materials formed respectively by injection moulding compositions called ‘feedstock’ in the injection moulding industry, each form powders whose grains shrink in a substantially identical manner during sintering.
- said at least a first additive and said at least a second additive can include a binder and/or a surfactant and/or a plasticizer depending on the component to be fabricated and/or the agglomeration system used.
- Said at least a first additive and said at least a second additive can also include an organic compound and/or a polymer, possibly supplemented by an additive such as, for example, a gelling compound and/or a surface active compound.
- step b) of the method either the first material or the second material can be agglomerated.
- the composite compound could be metal-based or ceramic-based.
- step b) can be achieved by injection moulding, pressing, 3D printing or slip casting. However, preferably, injection moulding is used to obtain more varied geometries.
- step c) intended to agglomerate the other of the first and second materials against the first part of the blank to form at least a second part of the blank.
- step c) can be achieved by injection moulding, pressing, overmoulding, dip coating, 3D printing or slip casting.
- injection moulding is used to obtain more varied geometries.
- steps b) and c) can consist of ceramic and metal injection moulding also known by the abbreviations CIM (Ceramic Injection Moulding) MIM (Metal Injection Moulding) and PIM (Powder Injection Moulding).
- step d) for sintering the blank in order to obtain the composite component formed of steel 316L and zirconia.
- step b) agglomerate, in step b), a zirconia forming a main bezel body with recesses and, in step c), steel 316L, which agglomerates to fill said recesses and thus form one or more graduations.
- step c) steel 316L, which agglomerates to fill said recesses and thus form one or more graduations.
- a main composite component which is black, for example provided by the zirconia, and including grey graduations, for example provided by steel 316L.
- the reverse is also possible.
- the blank formed of two types of material is sintered in a single step d) and not consecutively for each material, which avoids repeated handling of intermediate components as in the case of the prior art.
- steel 316L is selectively chosen since it has good mechanical resistance to scratching and to corrosion, is insensitive to magnetic fields and is hypoallergenic to wear. It is clear therefore that steel 316L has similar qualities to those of zirconia and therefore forms, in combination therewith, a composite compound perfectly suited to the external parts of a timepiece.
- the composite component obtained by the method can form a case 1 , whose middle part 2 is made of steel 316L and whose horns 3 are made of zirconia (or vice versa), a steel 316L bezel with zirconia graduations, or the links 11 of a bracelet 10 made of steel 316L with zirconia decorations (or vice versa).
- step d) can also include a debinding phase for removing said at least a first and a second additive and, more generally, any additive used before the sintering phase intended to increase the density of the blank.
- a final finishing step for improving the aesthetics of the composite component formed in step d) could also be envisaged.
- Such a finishing step can typically include machining and/or brushing and/or polishing to make the composite component more aesthetically attractive.
